CB Xavien Howard

(So I know every opponent is supposed to be treated the same. But I’m just curious, do you have good memories of some of your games against the N.Y. Jets? Do you like playing the Jets?) – “Yeah, it’s a big game. I really don’t remember – well, I do remember some stuff but it’s a new team, new players and new receivers so I just can’t think of what I did in the past.”

(What do you think of QB Zach Wilson and getting your first look at him after you didn’t see him the first time?) – “It’s good. It’s always good to have a quarterback – a fresh quarterback – coming in. Just ready to execute, really.”

(Would you be able to play some running back if called upon? Right now, RB Duke Johnson is kind of the only guy you’ve got.) – “He’s enough. We’ve got Duke. He can handle that. (laughter)”

(Do you feel like guys are coming in after the bye week refreshed, ready to go, hungry for these last four games?) – “Yeah, most definitely. A lot of guys are fresh coming back. We’re really just excited to just get back on the field.”

(How does it change things potentially if S Jevon Holland can’t go?) – “Next man up mentality. Due to this COVID, there’s a lot of stuff going on with the COVID. It’s just the next man up mentality.”

(Did you catch any of the games on Sunday? And if so, what moments caught your attention?) – “The Buffalo Tampa game. That was a big game. Just watching football and just learning from mistakes they make on defense.”

(How do you feel about the fact that the team is sort of back in the mix and that these games could play a role in maybe even making the playoffs? Is that exciting to you? Do you appreciate the opportunity? What are your thoughts on that?) – “I treat it like one game at a time. It’s always the next game is important. I’m going to focus on the Jets right now and that’s really all I’m worried about right now. We’ve just got to take care of what’s in front of us right now.”

(How often does Head Coach Brian Flores drill that message into you guys, just worry about the game right now?) – “Every day.”

(How many times a day?) – “(Expletive), I don’t know. A lot. A lot. (laughter)”
